Convert ODT to XML
What is ODT?
ODT
ODT stores human-readable text with formatting in XML structure. Data formats store machine-readable structured information as key-value pairs. Documents are for reading; data formats are for processing. Extracting structured data from ODT requires parsing and manual structuring.
- ODT preserves document structure with text, formatting, and layout information
What is XML?
XML
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) stores structured data as human-readable text using custom tags with opening/closing pairs. Hierarchical tree structure supporting attributes and namespaces. Self-describing with schema validation (XSD, DTD). Verbose compared to JSON but more powerful for complex documents. Universal data exchange format. Maximum size limited by parser. Used extensively in office formats (DOCX, ODT).
